Noram Receives Results For CVZ-79: High-Grade Intercept Of 260.0 Ft (79.2 M) Averaging 1185 PPM & High Of 1660 PPM

June 16, 2022

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 16, 2022 – Sandy MacDougall, CEO of Noram Lithium Corp. (“Noram” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NRM | OTCQB: NRVTF | Frankfurt: N7R) is pleased to announce the successful completion of CVZ-79 (PH-05) and release of the final assay results. The Company completed core hole CVZ-79 at a depth of 503 ft (153.3 m). Sampling for assay began at 30 ft (9.1 m) and continued to the bottom of the hole, an interval thickness of 260.0 ft (79.2 m) was intersected from 100 ft (33.5 m) to 360 ft (109.7 m). The hole ended in mineralization and the weighted average lithium values present were as follows:

Depth of Interval Intersection Total thickness Weighted Average Lithium
(ppm)
100 ft to 360 ft (33.5 m to 109.7 m) 260.0 ft (79.2 m) 1185.0 ppm


Figure 1. Example of core from CVZ-79; the interval from 124.0 to 129.5 ft (37.8 – 39.5 m). This particular section shows the transition from light olive claystones to the black reduced claystones. As a general rule, demonstrated by previous programs, the black claystones tend to have higher lithium values.

”CVZ-79 was one of the holes near the eastern edge of Noram’s Zeus property. At this location, it is anticipated that it will add substantially to Noram’s indicated lithium resource and will reassign a large portion of the current inferred resource into the indicated category. comments Brad Peek, VP of Exploration and geologist on all six phases of Noram’s Clayton Valley exploration drilling.
